Since I spent my vacation week at 25 degrees (and got my first sunburns!), I switched to "summer mode". No luck, the heat didn't last and I spent the rest of the time freezing in my little summer jacket... No big deal, I don't want to go back, I'm staying in "summer mode" and that's final! So, for my participation in the Battle Food, an ice cream without an ice cream maker was perfect!
Quick reminder of the Battle Food concept: it's a cooking challenge around a theme chosen by the "winner" of the previous version. This month, the theme was chosen by Maman Pâtisse who had herself been designated by Gabrielle from Petite Cuillère et Charentaises. By the way, remember, it was me who hosted at Christmas with apple pie cookies.
And so Déborah (Maman Pâtisse) chose as the theme for this edition...
In pastry, cream is not what's missing... whipped, beaten, pastry, mousseline... But ultimately I had trouble finding a nice twist. What do you want, I can't be on time and inspired huh, that's too much for the same 😀
And I'm going to be honest with you, I have a little trouble with constraints. I especially love playing with themes and getting off the beaten path. So, for this "Cream of the crop" theme, I opted for ice cream... without cream!
I had seen this recipe on Facebook last year and I thought the concept was brilliant. Indeed, this ice cream contains only one ingredient, doesn't require an ice cream maker, and only takes 5 minutes to make. So I think this recipe that's easy, super quick, vegan, dairy-free and without added sugar deserves the title of Cream of the crop!
